Inko's Blackberry Energy Drink Review

A far cry from the sultry blue of Inko's of years past, Inko's new can, all white with odd swooshing lines of little color, is a bit of a disappointment. There is too much text as well, all horizontal but geez, all those logos! All those words!

The flavor is as flat as the can, a dully textured experience with a flavor so unexciting the can should read "do not drink and operate machinery-" actually no, no more text on that can. The tea introduces some fine bitterness, a suggestion of something more interesting within every imbibe. Sweetness is another halfway intriguing feature, only twenty four grams of organic cane sugar is present, but Stevia can be found as well, giving sips its trademark nasty aftertaste, how ever slight it is here. Inko's Blackberry never really tastes like blackberry, or much of anything, but it will avoid a spot on my yearly "Your Drink Sucks" list at least. Some praise.

Each can contains 165 milligrams of caffeine, which is just a notch above average, so color me happy there. Other ingredients include ginseng and guarana. Its slogan I guess is "jitter free energy," which is what happened after the two hour buzz faded, so at least the can did tell the truth.
